Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The Deputy will recall that we reported on payments in excess of ministerially approved levels in the third level education sector, where similar issues arose. The bodies which I audit are required under the code of practice for the governance of public sector bodies to ensure disclosure in the annual financial statements of the remuneration package of the chief executive. In general, the information includes the basic salary, any bonus paid, a pension contribution or payment in lieu of pension contribution and benefit-in-kind. This is standard information required of each body I audit.
